New blogger? Welcome! Share a link to your first post, say hello to other new faces, and find your first few readers.
For other help:
If you’re not new and are looking for support or feedback, the Community Pool is the place for you!For technical questions, visit the WordPress.com Support Forums.
To learn more about blogging, take a Blogging U. course.
To find, copy, and paste your link:
Head to your blog’s home page — not your dashboard. Click on a post’s title to open the individual post. Highlight and copy the URL you see in your browser’s address bar, and paste the entire URL into a comment here.
Welcome to First Friday, a weekly open thread where any new blogger can share a link to their first post with the community! To share your first post with us, copy and paste the link right into a comment here.
Posts should have been published within the last month, and should be your first post. We’ll remove other links to keep this space focused on new bloggers. If you’re not new, you can still be a part of First Fridays by visiting a link or two and leaving the bloggers a supportive like or comment.
We ask that you help us keep this space focused with a few other guidelines:
- If you share a link, visit a few other bloggers as well. New readers for all!
- Please don’t share the same link repeatedly, or in multiple First Friday threads. We’ll remove repeat posts.
- Link directly to your new post — it makes it easier for folks to like the post or leave you comments.
- Avoid repeated “Follow for a follow!” or “Please look at my blog!” comments. They’re a bit spammy, and it’s much more effective to visit and comment on individual blogs.
- To keep from losing your place, right-click on links to open them in a new tab or window.

My debut post describes a stunning hill walk over the Helvellyn mountain range in England’s Lake District. En route, it delves back into time and legend to explore the stories associated with the place. We encounter a lost Celtic crown, a ghost army, a reckless romantic artist eulogised for the manner of his death and his dog’s enduring devotion and emerge into the present day with the discovery of a teddy bear with a tragic tale to tell. Hope you enjoy it.

I noticed that you also have some placeholder text in your blog’s sidebar (on the right) and footer (on the bottom) — you can remove or edit that by going to My Site > Customize > Widgets.

Hey,
I think that writing about yourself is a great way to start out. Everyone has different experiences to share, it’s what makes reading interesting. Writings based on experiences are more relatable, raw and down to earth in my opinion. You don’t need to be like Rowling, Martin and Tolkien. Just be yourself.

Xavier

One thing — I noticed you’re using a lot of tags on your posts. The WordPress.com Reader actually filters out posts that use more than 15 tags and categories (combined) as an anti-spam measure! If you cut your tags down to the most relevant, you’ll actually draw more readers.
